NEW: Legal thriller Midnight for Justice by Charlotte Stuart and Don Stuart
Career U.S. Navy JAGC officer Lt. Duncan Carmichael and an ACLU volunteer lawyer, Sydney Warren, form an unlikely team defending a young uncooperative sailor accused of a vicious murder on a U.S. Navy base but are thwarted at every turn by the military command.
Fast-forward 40 years: Warren and Carmichael are investigating an insurance claim on a yacht wrecked on northern Vancouver Island when they uncover startling links between their 1978 murder case, a break-in at their law office, and a mass shooting by far-right extremists at a protest rally.
Can they prove that the wreck is connected to a large shipment of contraband military arms stolen at the end of the Vietnam War?
Can two aging lawyers prevent the illegal arms from fueling a violent uprising, or will they be outsmarted by a desperate enemy from their past?
